I think its a swirl pot setup that im looking for anyway. Mainly looking to see how much work and what money is involved first.

Basically, once i drop below a half tank, the car is shite for powering on, if ya throw it out, it'll splutter, etc. Basically not getting the fuel. Its driving me mad!

Its a road car and i need to do something to solve this.

Looking for advice from other r32 owners

take up the fuel pump from the tank have a look down inside it there is a sort of bowl around the pump there will be a plastic thing cliped on to the drivers side of it pull that fecking yoke out of the tank and you will be grand!!! it clogs up after a while restrics the flow into the bowl

Ill assume you have a walbro fuel pump? If so the pickup for the walbro is too short it doesnt reach the bottom of the tank, get a longer pickup and its problem solved :D
